Description
Well here's another TFA character! This time it's none other than TFA Energon Ironhide! Or should I say Armorhide, since there's, well, allready an Ironhide in the show. He's heavily influenced by Swindle, primarily because a couple of years ago, I made a digibash of Swindle as Ironhide. [link]Galactic Powers and Abilities:
- Is heavily armoured
- Can maneuver in almost any environment
- Shoulder mounted sonar makes him a good communications officer
Bio:
Armorhide, is well, a rookie when it comes to the Autobots. He has only trained for a few stellar cycles under his trainer, Roadblock Major. Along with three other squad members who seem to have taken a shine to him and who strangely use rhyming to communicate. Roadblock Major has often taken the squad to the depths of Cybertron give them unconventional training, as to better prepare the squad for difficult obstacles. Recently, Armorhide and team have been sent to investigate a distant planet for a batallion calling themselves the "Terrorcons". Because of his dedication and military prowess, Roadblock believes that Armorhide will eventually become a great Autobot warrior, perhaps someday reaching the title of "Prime", if Armorhide could only learn to be a bit less brash when it comes to missions.

Roadbuster could've worked too, since that IS his Japanese name.

Guess I associate it more with the actual wrecker Roadbuster.

Can you do movie Armorhide and IDW Ironfist? [You can make Armorhide the tow truck version?]

I'm open for commissions if you'd like to get those done. (Although there is a canon TFA Ironfist out there)

Well yes, but a friend of mine needs an IDW Ironfist image.

Then he would be named "Roadbuster" in Japan, then if a TFA Roadbuster, then he would be "Roadbasher" in Japan.

this is good, I like the fact that you're making transformers from different series animated style.

Thanks! Yeah, I prefer drawing other series TFs over TFA OCs.

Epic! I've always loved Energon Ironhide, and he looks awesome as TFA character.

Haha! Thanks! I love Ironhide too, just wish people would give him a bit more credit.

Not sure how long in hours, but over the course of school and day to day life, I think I finished in a bit under 5 days.

Incredible...you did something cool with one of my least favorite Autobots. He works well as a TFA character!

Likin' this. Hopefully the head hides away in alt mod this time. If you really wanna know what was lost in the the translation from Superlink to Energon, the TFWiki has you covered (the pages for each episode has a 'lost in translation' section).

Destron23 In reply to Tha-C [2011-02-25 02:23:36 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, in this version, his head would fold away downwards to avoid horrible Visible Head Syndrome (though I think that quirck is actually one of the reasons I like the energon toy so much). The vehicle mode for this would look like a "normal" cybertronian vehicle.

I love Energon Ironhide xD Well at least his Japanese self, not so much the dub. But he looks awesome!

Destron23 In reply to xenacee [2011-02-25 01:22:16 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! I was kind of basing his bio off his Energon incarnation, like Team Ironhide (the rhyming Omnicons), Roadblock and how Ironhide had a rivalry with Scorponok, a Terrorcon. What was his Japanese characterization like?

xenacee In reply to Destron23 [2011-02-25 01:32:40 +0000 UTC]
xD I loved his little fanguys they were cute! Um...I think he was more serious, but still pretty much the same. I mean I still love the dub cause you know it was what I was first introduced too, but there is a pretty big difference between the two versions. Such as cutting episodes up and stuff.

They really spliced the episodes? O_o I do know that a lot was lost in translation from Japan, though, such as things to do with Alpha-Q's origins. I would probably check out Superlink sometime, but I'm not sure if I'd be up for reading subs.

That's why I didn't watch the whole thing was the subs. xD I can only take so much of them before I go insane xD You should check it out sometimes if you ever get a chance.

I thought his name was Roadbuster, unless you already used the name earlier.

Well that's his japanese name, but, in my opinion, Roadbuster should be left for the G1 incarnation of the character. I just thought that Armorhide was a close enough name to Ironhide.
